  1. This is exactly why I love software on the web on SpaceX's Falcon 1 Destroyed During Maiden Voyage · · Score: 1

    You just dont have problems like this when writing code for the web.... that is unless you are coding for a bank and and use 1...2...3...4...5.. as your session numbers! :)

  2. Steve "The Chair-man" Balmer on Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring · · Score: 1

    Now you are talking - lets get all of the big boys into the ring with pro-wrestling names, to boot!

    Larry "The Takeover" Ellison
    Larry "The G-man" Page and
    Sergey "The Russian" Brin
    Johnathan "Ponytail Pouncer" Schwartz
    etc...

  3. Re:Please Don't Interpret this Incorrectly on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1

    What I want is for every slashdot post to stamp what OS and Browser the poster is currently using. Then we will all see the sad truth, that the vast majority of Slashdot users are either XP/Firefox or XP/IE. Then the inquisition can begin!!!

  4. Re:Can you please explain why this is significant? on IBM Creates Ring Oscillator on a Single Nanotube · · Score: 1

    Play Doom 5 on my watch? Now there is a answer I can work with, thank you kind poster!

  5. Re:Can you please explain why this is significant? on IBM Creates Ring Oscillator on a Single Nanotube · · Score: 1

    Ring oscillators are simple circuits with which you can easily compare different circuit ...

    Blah blah blah, this does not even get close to explaining to us "lay people" what you EE's are talking about. How about an answer like "Doom 5 will be REALLY REALLY COOL" :)

  6. YOU ARE WRONG, POSTER on Sun Grid DOS'd · · Score: 2, Informative

    The sun grin did NOT GET DOS'ed. The DEMO SERVER got dos'ed, and when they moved such code back into the grid the DOS attack was mitigated. RTFA.

  7. Hit By a Network Attack? on Sun Grid Compute Utility · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Oh comon, they are just trying to cover-up getting slashdotted!

    New.com article "Sun Grid hit by network attack" : http://news.com.com/2100-7349_3-6052968.html

  8. Re:If only something like this were free on Sun Grid Compute Utility · · Score: 1

    Ty'ea right, the moment Apple hardware becomes free please wake me up from my nap.

  9. Re:A bug could be costly on Sun Grid Compute Utility · · Score: 1

    One bug was an infinite loop that resulted in 100 CPUs spinning for a week before I noticed!

    How did you have 100 processors maxs out for a week without knowing?

  10. Go Dell on It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware · · Score: 1

    Dell is suddenly a large AMD customer, with all the experience of working with AMD at a volume level. This is just a beginning of better price/performance ratios from Dell, I hope.

  11. Re:Judging change on American Idol for Security Geeks · · Score: 1

    Frankly, that would be ingenious and hilarious. With just a short pause, the most witty comments would get bubbled to the top (and broadcasted)... hmmmmm

  12. Re:pre-9/11 on FBI Agents Don't Have Email Access · · Score: 1

    Funny, I thought it was a pre-1995 mentality.

    Oh comon, corporate executitive america has had one form of email or another since the early 80's if not earlier in some cases.

  13. Re:I come to Slashdot on Coding Communities - What Works? · · Score: 1

    I dare you to make the same claim about sites like http://www.experts-exchange.com/

    Of comon, you dont know how to google-hack experts-exchange out of giving you any answer you want, free and immediately?

  14. Re:Home Depot already have one on Microsoft To Construct iPod/DS/PSP Killer · · Score: 1

    Sledge Hammer? Comon man, this is Home Despot, with a great deal of more destructive tools for rent/sale! For example, what about the Milwaukee "Big Daddy" breaker hammer? It's 44 Ft./lb. of blow energy, 1400 bpm, 15 amp, 120 Volt AC/DC. So thats like 23 powered blows per second! OH YEA WILL TURN A X-BOX to TINY PIECES IN LESS THAT A SECOND WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT! :) http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_mai n/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=misc/searchR esults.jsp&N=2984+3966&cm_ven=hd_goog&cm_cat=Searc h&cm_pla=D-25X&cm_ite=bid10101109-Power_Tools

  15. Matrix .2? on Aging Japan Looks to Bots For Care · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry man, that just a few steps to close to being used as batteries!

  16. Re:Geek progress on Super-Strong Synthetic Muscles Developed · · Score: 1

    My unit is actually named, RAGE = Rapid Assault Ground Enforcement

  17. Re:Geek progress on Super-Strong Synthetic Muscles Developed · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I spray at least 50 lbs of NANO-B-GONE(tm) enhanced-edition clear polymer combat-ready spray on all of my Mechs before battle like any good Mechwarrior!

  18. Re:Odd on US Government Seeks Open-Source Translation · · Score: 1

    There is WAY to much information traffic to handle by human translators, and digital translators are not there yet. It's really that simple.

  19. Re:Geek progress on Super-Strong Synthetic Muscles Developed · · Score: 1

    Count me out. Big bots make big targets. Better to be the guy you don't even see until your head comes off. Sorry man, I work with a full squad of aerospace fighters, I have crack support troops, and I make sure to artillery the hell out of any city before I charge! There is nothing like having a 100 ton heavily armed monster robot at your command!

  20. Re:Geek progress on Super-Strong Synthetic Muscles Developed · · Score: 1

    but the bigger picture is the development of the first real Terminator.

    Awesome! How about the Battletech universe? If you want to know what advanced strong metallic muscles can really do, consider piloting a 50 foot weapon-clad BattleMaster!

  21. Re:Analysis on Vista May Put Anti-Spyware Companies Out · · Score: 1

    How about we realize that, in this case, CNet is just a shill for the Microsoft PR department.

    You are to kind, sir. From what I see, CNet is just a shill for just about anyone who will who fork over a few bucks to them!

  22. Re:my office? on Wired and Wireless At the Same High Speed · · Score: 1

    Nah, I was like, "how the hell does that guy get any work done without a damn monitor?!? And why the HELL does he need an umbrella in the office?"

  23. Don't you watch "24" on FOX? on Security Flaws Could Cripple Defense Network · · Score: 1

    Oh comon, everyone who watches "24" knows that you have to open a SOCKET before you talk to other defense-department computers! And it's really hard to do - all the CTU big-bosses always need to ask one of the geeks in the office to "open a socket to Division". The defense network is SECURE, I REST MY CASE!

  24. Re:What a shitty submission. on Self Contained Water Cooled Radeon X1900, Retail · · Score: 1

    Isn't this called Slashertising or something like that? Shouldn't we charge a fee, boil him in oil, DRDoS his server, or tar and feather the boy?

  25. Re:And now... on Opera Software Co-Founder Passes Away · · Score: 1

    It could have been worse, you could have asked if he was creamated (since he liked compact code), you could have asked if the funeral arrangements all fit on one floppy, or you could have asked if he passing was standards-based.

    Either way, this dude was a maverick, a pioneer, and the dude obviously knew how to code. Where he is now, he can write raw assembly without ever compiling.... he's ok now. It's his family I send my well wishes and condolences to....
